I work in a Tint/Car audio shop

when someone comes in to get a job done and they want it done darker than legal. They get nothing but the tint. NO WARRANTY. NO RECORD OF SALE. A tint shop can get in major trouble for tinting a car darker than the legal limit.

actually i also just noticed something else. the housing around the brake light in the rear shield is not seated all the way down now on one side. i dont ever remember it being like that before and i would trhink i would have. would they pull tht to make it easier to do?

he is trying to pull something...
it is NOT illegal to install darker tint than the law allows... it is illegal for you to drive on any PVA with that tint, but the shop is within its legal bounds to stock, sell, and install the tint darker than the law allows...

i would go back there and raise some hell. he has no right revoking your warranty or refusing to give you a receipt. there is probably some stipulation saying that he cant knowingly install darker tint on a vehicle that is to be driven on public streets. but if thats the case, im more than sure he knows not to ask questions...

That might be true in your state but it isn't here. (I do not know about GA seeing as that's where the OP is from)

Here a tint shop may stock darker than legal tint but may only install it on limos / K9 police cruisers / other vehicles exempt from current tinting regulations.

That's not to say you cannot find a place that will sell/install darker than legal film on a non-exempt vehicle but that's what the law allows for at any rate.

OMG i know a tinter and withing the first couple of days or weeks it'll bubbles, then the heat will take care of it. Nothing to worry about. After a week or so if its still like that then worry.

I had bubbles in my tint that were VERY small that were in there for about 3 months and they dried out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif dont get the windows tinted in the winter as it takes FOREVER for it to dry out

i talked to the owner yesterday on the phone, bc he is going to put on a new product (dotrix) over the dot matrix(for free). i mentioned the bubbles and he said if it was wtaer it should have dried out by now but he'll look at it when he does the other. today i noticed(guess i was int the right light and angle) a lot of dust under the visor strip. am i just being to **** picky?
